2025 Premium Rate Stays the Same
There will be no change to the premium rate for premiums due throughout 2025. The rate will remain at 0.9% of wages. By law, the FAMLI Division Director is required to recalculate the premium rate every year to determine if adjustments to the premium rate need to be made for the following year. In 2025, employers and Colorado workers will continue to contribute the same premium rate they are currently paying.

The Quarter 3 (Q3) payment deadline is approaching! Please submit your wage reports and pay your premiums by October 31, 2024. We encourage all employers and businesses to meet each reporting deadline to avoid potential penalties, fines and interest charges.

Important Updates to MyFAMLI+ Employer:
We want to update you about some new features in the My FAMLI+ Employer portal. These changes are designed to help you manage your FAMLI responsibilities more effectively.
FAMLI is now offering employers the option of using an Installment Payment Agreement (IPA). This financial arrangement allows employers to pay off their owed amounts in smaller, manageable installments over a set period rather than paying a lump sum.
You can initiate the process to start an installment payment agreement by calling FAMLI and requesting to set up an agreement. We’ll work with you to determine the terms of the agreement. Once your agreement is in place, you can make payments in the wages and payment screen within your My FAMLI+ Employer account.

NEW! File a Grievance Online
Employers can now file a grievance online. When an employer needs to dispute a determination regarding an employee’s FAMLI claim, employers should first file a grievance with the Division before filing an appeal. An employer should file a grievance only if it has a good-faith belief, supported by evidence, that the Division has granted FAMLI benefits to a claimant in an amount, duration or frequency beyond what the claimant is entitled to.
Please check out the Appeals page to learn more about your options when it comes to disputing a decision.
Employers can either mail back a grievance form after receiving those instructions, or fill out the grievance request form online:
